Mixed reviews concerned me, but this is a great recipe. I think anyone who is disappointed with the chocolate taste might consider the brand of cocoa used.Also, a little bit of strong coffee enhances almost any chocolate recipe.

From the picture, I expected this to be a rich chocolate taste. I was a little disappointed because it tastes more like something I could get from a box.

This is the best chocolate cake recipe I've ever made. The cup cakes came out perfectly. They were moist and delicious! I will use this recipe for all my cakes and cupcakes. Thanks!

Loved the nice chocolate flavor of this recipe. Next time will make it and fill with Nutella for the extra chocolate flavor. I used a vanilla buttercream - Yummy!

Chocolate curls are made by using a vegetable peeler to thick "peel" on a bar of good chocolate. From the picture the frosting looks like a standard chocolate buttercream

Nice cupcake but no directions for yummy looking frosting nor help on making chocolate curls which made the cupcake look so lovely!

Sounds good, but what kind of icing, and how do you make the chocolate curls?

the recipe is fine, but since the descriptions spoke of the chocolate curles being a showy way to display the cupcake, I expected to be told how to do the curls. When I have tried it in the past, I get chocolate sprinkles instead of curls, how do you get them to look like these?

This is the first time I've made chocolate cupcakes from scratch, so I'm not sure how these compare to other recipes, but I thought they were really good. Soft, fairly moist, lots of flavor. The batter did seem a bit thick, so I added an extra tablespoon of water. I also added a few chocolate chips to each cupcake. Will definitely make these again.
